"I hope our duel is fair and without foul play, but I worry not for that situation in the slightest." I said with refined toung "I need not fear foul play, the difference between us is nothing that you can bridge with mere 'Foul play'." I was anticipating that lion, it's quality was nothing to scoff at. It's the lion family's heir's first beast, it should have a good perk attached if they used some rank one beast.
{Erebus, make sure not to dismember it. It's going to be your next underling!} I told Erebus the basics and let it loose, it was pretty funny to see the lion get caught up in the 'fear' status of 'Drakish roar'. Erebus also used the lion as a test subject for lowering the mana costs for 'Drakish breath (Darkness)', I respect his testing even in combat. To be honest it was very entertaining to just watch my beast play around with Xerxes's beast, but it was about time to get this over with {Finish this, this is no longer profitable for our prestige. If this continues it will only make us seem sadistic and petty, lowering our dominance over the current social situation.}
"It's about time to end the show, this is getting repetitive." I clapped and as I did that Erebus struck the lion with a claw strike, it was a lethargic strike and the lion cub flew off the stage pathetically. I smiled and looked at the gold chain on my pants, great fashion I'm sure.

I looked at my maid outfitted Luna, she didn't have boobs so I wasn't really sure what to make her wear. I got rid of the thing on her head, I think some reincarnator with a maid fetish brought these costumes with them. I edited it a bit and made the skirt shorter and made changes to the color palet's distrabution with the boob part and the partial skirt apron being white and not having an apron fully installed. Amazingly stockings exist here, I have no idea how, but reincarnators truly live up to their fetishes.
Am I, Getting a fashion sense?! No, I'm just copying something from the internet. This isn't a fashion sense, this is just copying what's successfull. I don't have a fashion sense, still.
"Soo... Can you undo the blood contract with your beast?" I said "Do it quickly, since I'm looking forward to it, it should be good. Not that I could tell from the duel." I off-handedly dissed him to increase my prestige at the cost of his.
"Fine! I'll do it, ok!?" Xerxes was still a child, and he was prone to outbursts when shamed. He must be so embaressed after hearing from the two girls that I didn't rape them and the fact that I shamed him publically helps too. Man oaths are amazing, I really like them. I'm never going to make one though, chains aren't fun.
As he was undoing the blood contract I felt that if my prestige and social power were to be numerized, it would be soaring right now. I walked to the now free lion cub and pinched it in the neck, subdueing it. It seems those cat-like instincts are still there... Makes my life a lot easier {Erebus, fear monger.} I got the fear aura up and running and pointed at the lion cub, then at me, and nodded. I then picked it up, now being more docile.
I'm wondering why I don't have anemia already. I've been using liters of blood instead of this worlds measuring system since I'm used to it, but this is getting out of hand. Maybe it's healing skills that refill blood, or maybe hp regen does it already.
I took the lion cub into an empty spot and took out a sword to cut my hand, I had to do it a few times to get the liter of blood I needed. Yes, I got slightly light headed, not to bad though {I dub thee...} I took a look at the lion's stats; 3 STR 2 AGI 3 VIT 2 END 2 WIS 4 INT 4 CHA 11 LCK, a lot better overall compared to bob {Apollo, Ares, Helios, Virtis, Tyr, Hermod, Vidar, Nefertem, Khepri, Tohil or hyperion. Choose one, and based on their respective myths I will choose the path you will take.}

I heard something I didn't think I'd hear [What makes you think I will serve you?] A little cub said, it's concept of this contract seemed to be a little weird. But it did have a full ego, which was rare for a beast below 7 INT, it's usually to much for the mind to handle {The fear of death, the wish to become stronger. How should I know?! Just choose one, ok? I don't have the patience to deal with a weird beast right now. Remember, you're the one that accepted the contract.} The lion cub sent over feelings of irritation [At least tell me what myths are associated with them.] It's quite entertaining having an enemy underme, sort-of. I think it'll turn coat in a while.
I sighed mentally and told it {Apollo is the god of the archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the sun and light, poetry, and more. In his myth he stole some cows or something. Ares is the god of war, courage, and other shit. More spesifically the bad parts of war, destrution, violence, bloodshed, and loss that came along with it, coming along with a few cool titles like; The bane of mortals, the slayer of men, the city stormer and a few more. Helios is the god of the sun spesifically, so that's be a leader character, I think. Tyr is the god of courage and valor I think, it's a one-man-army build for this one. Hermod is the god of courage and communication, pretty much someone that has the courage to speak up and give others courage. Vidar is the god of Vengeance, Space, Silence and Footwear. No, I have no idea what I'll make with that. Nefertem is the god of the first sunlight, or the beginning. Khepri is the god of rebirth and the sunrise, this one I'll make you die and revive a bunch before you really die, making it nigh impossible to die, this one would be a challenge to make possible but so overpower when it does. Tohil has stuff to do with thunder and lightning but also light and the sun, so golden or white lightning. Hyperion is a titan and also the father of helios, since I know jack shit about this one I'll just make you a gigantic lion that's at least the size of a mountain.} I narated with no filter and waited for the answer.
I gave the little lion time and sat in a class for an hour until I got my answer, Erebus was back in the mansion [I want Tohil.] I laughed it all up {Not going for a leader build, are we? Lightning, how interesting. I always thought you lions liked leadership roles, not that you can't be a leader with lightning. I like the lightning element anyways.} I looked at it's race 'Half-royal ilios lion cub(Fire/light)', that was pretty good, and easy for my to turn into a Lightning/light one. Fire and lightning have a lot of destruction in common, and light has stuff to do with lightning too {I should be able to get you your lightning in the evo.}
I nodded to myself and looked at it's skills and level; lvl 10 and three skills, 'Strike', 'Lunge' and 'Elemental enhancement'. The first two are self explanitory, and the last let's you use an element of your choice (Which you're attuned to) to enhance yourself. Fire is strength and vitality, light is charisma and wisdom, lightning is strength and agility.
I returned to my home, looking in the yard to see the two accidental pick-ups getting owned by Bob & Co. It was so entertaining really, I wondered what to do now. I had some free time and pondered on how much a legendary would cost. 10 mill + extra, to be safe, about 40 mill before I get one. If I could, maybe 60-100 mill. This is for rank 1 btw, definently way higher for rank 5 and beyond.
I'll set up an essence slave in every dungeon I enter from now on, that's my best choice right now. Where are the dungeons near the capital, I picked up a map and checked. There were tons of them, in the thousands. They were designated with the amount of floors each had, this was all readily available to a grand duke of course. I at least had some plans to make some high rank essence slaves for now.

Steamforged Sorcery [A Steampunk LitRPG]
This is a fantasy story in a steampunk setting, not a sci-fi. The Great War ravaged the face of the earth many years ago. In the years that passed, the world rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke as metal cities sprouted like weeds below. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly comes to realize that the world is far larger – and far more deadly – than he ever could have predicted. But no amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking out greater strength and traveling the world, claiming all the greatest treasure that it has to offer. To most, the desert is a dangerous threat to be feared. To Angel, it’s a land of opportunity, waiting to be exploited. Steamforged Sorcery is, as the title suggests, a LitRPG Steampunk story with heavy focus on magic and scenery. The main character starts out relatively strong (but far from overpowered) but will eventually grow in strength to incredible levels. It is moderately paced and does not progress at ridiculous speeds. Release Schedule: 1,500 words daily Monday-Friday
